In the study of two groups of patients, the authors did not reveal a clear advantage or disadvantage of each drug, both of them were appropriate for the successful solution of the tasks.</p>clonidinedexmedetomidinepostoperative awakeningклофелиндексмедетомидинпослеоперационное пробуждение[Arefiev A.M., Kulikov A.C., Lubnin A.Yu.
